Chapter Eighty-Three, Prelude
At seven o'clock in the evening, the gymnasium was already crowded at this time, and there were more people watching this game than the Japanese men's team playing against the Chinese men's team, because many Japanese people believed that the women's basketball team would help them avenge yesterday's men's basketball defeat, and in Japan, the popularity of the women's basketball team is much higher than that of the men's basketball team, plus today's game is the final, so the players of the Chinese women's basketball team have to face not only the impact of the strength of the Japanese women's basketball team, but also the impact of the tsunami-like sound of the whole court.
"Hey, pretend to be Liu, where have you been all day today, and you won't come back until five o'clock in the afternoon?" In the corridor in the stands, Yu Fei said loudly to Liu Tiange at this time.
"Do you need to take care of it?" Liu Tiange said with a glance at him.
"What!, Lao Tzu can't care about you, what kind of attitude do you have!" Yu Fei shouted at Liu Tiange.
"I don't need you to meddle in my business!" Liu Tiange said.
"Damn, I'm really angry, pretend to be ...... Liu"
"Okay, Xiaofei, you don't know what Liu Tiange's temper is, you have nothing to blame!" Yang Yujia patted Yu Feidi on the back and said.
"That's right, my brother won't say a word to him in the future, so as not to rot my mouth!" Yu Fei said angrily.
"However, I want to say that the two of them are standing in our ranks, is it really okay?" Ren said at this time, pointing to Imagawa Airi and Nakamura Miyuki.
"No problem, you add your oil, we add our oil, we don't interfere with each other!" Imagawa Airi said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I'm just a spectator, so don't you mind!" said Miyuki Nakamura with a smile.
"Can you really do it without interfering with each other......" Everyone looked at the two of them speechlessly.
"Why do I feel like someone is glaring at us all the time?" Xu Ning said.
"yes, it must be your hallucination, hahaha......" Ori Imagawa said with a smile.
In fact, Xu Ning was right, at this time, the Japanese team members sitting under the stands, all glared angrily at the Chinese players, the reason for this is because there are two reasons, one is because they lost to the Chinese team yesterday, and the other is that two stunning Japanese beauties actually stood by their side, which can't help but make each of them angry, violent like thunder, Ono Yuji even threatened to duel with the players of the Chinese team, and when no one stopped him, he sat back quietly.
In the locker room, all the women's basketball players were very nervous, they still clearly remember the first game of the league against the Japanese team, they were quite relaxed before that game, because they did not know the real strength of the Japanese team at that time, but now they have experienced the terrifying strength of the opponent, everyone is now nervous to death.
"Okay, it's almost time to play, everyone has to relax now, you know, it's like a glance when you train in peacetime, don't be nervous!" Zhuang Yan encouraged everyone at this time and said, in fact, her own psychology is also nervous, but as the captain, she must lead by example.
"Although you say so, I'm still nervous now, Zhuang Yan, what can I do?" Lin Fengfei asked at this time.
"yes, I feel my heart pounding now, and I can't control it at all!"
"You're all starters, how can you be nervous at this time?" said Zhao Meiyue.
"Are you nervous, Mitsuki?" asked Wu Yuetong at this time.
"Tight...... Nervous, but I'm a substitute, different from you!" Zhao Meiyue said with a forced smile.
"It's really useless, the more this time, the more you can't be nervous!" Wang Yihuan glared at them at this time and said.
"You still said that Yihuan, last night you tossed and turned alone and couldn't sleep, and went to the toilet five or six times, and even said that we were not productive!" Lin Fengfei said to Wang Yihuan.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Ji Jinru walked in from the outside with a tactical board.
"Are you ready, you're about to play!" Ji Jinru said with a smile.
"Coach......" At this time, Zhuang Yan came over and said, "Everyone is still a little nervous, what do you think can be done?"
"yes, then how about I'll do a magic trick for you, so that you can relax!" Ji Jinru said with a smile at this time.
The "Magic ......" saw everyone gathered around.
At this time, I saw Ji Zhenru take a paper cup from the table next to him, and then said to everyone: "Look, is there nothing here, have you seen it?"
Everyone nodded.
At this time, I saw Ji Zhenru clasping the paper cup on the palm of his right hand.
"I'll give it two breaths of immortal energy!" Ji Zhenru raised his left hand and sent two breaths of air to the cup in his right hand.
"It looks so fake!" Wang Yihuan said at this time.
"yes, I really don't know what he will conjure!" Lin Fengfei also said.
"Come, Yihuan, you blow at it!" Ji Zhenru said with a smile.
"Ah...... I......" Wang Yihuan pointed to himself and said.
Ji Zhenru smiled and nodded.
Wang Yihuan slowly approached, and then gently blew on the cup.
Next, a miraculous scene appeared, only to see that the paper cup was suddenly propped open, and then an orange appeared from inside!
"Wow!" everyone shouted in surprise.
"This, how did this happen?" He Yitong said in surprise, and everyone looked at Ji Zhenru curiously.
"It's boring to tell you, how about it, are you still nervous?" Ji Jinru looked at them with a smile.
"It's really much better, this trick is really effective!" Lin Fengfei said in surprise.
"yes, I'm somehow much lighter now. Xu Li also said.
"Coach, thank you......" Zhuang Yan said to Ji Zhenru at this time.
"You're welcome, now that you're all relaxed, I'm going to start arranging tactics now, and you're all here!" Ji Zhenru said with a tactical board.
All the team members surrounded them.
At this time, in the locker room of the Japanese team, all the players were in a state of excitement, because they all believed that Japan's first high school league championship would be won by them, although the Chinese team sang all the way to the finals, but the Japanese team also won every game, and they were confident that they would defeat the Chinese team in the final again.
"I suggest you don't be too confident, the Chinese team is still very strong!" at this time, the assistant coach Takao Nakaki reminded them.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we play according to our tactics, we will definitely not lose!" said Yumi Sato.
"Yumi, how can you say that, I watched the recent game of the Chinese team, their skills and tactics and mental will have changed a lot from the first game, if we underestimate the enemy, it is very likely that we will encounter Waterloo!" Takao Nakaki said loudly.
"For me, they use the same techniques and tactics, and they will lose in the end!" said Maki Oda at this time.
"Maki is right, no matter what skills and tactics they have or what their will, as long as they are still the same group of people, we have eighty percent certainty of winning the game!"
"Anyway, the soul is the two of you, if you have the confidence to win, we will have confidence!" said Miyoko Kyokawa.
"Yes, we will cooperate with the two of you to fight, and I believe that the two of you will definitely lead us to win this competition!" Junko Akai said loudly.
"The championship will definitely be ours!" said Maki Oda and Reimu Watarika at the same time.
"I advise you to listen to Takao, he is right, we must not underestimate the enemy, otherwise we are likely to suffer a big loss!"
"No, coach, they can't make any big progress in such a short period of time, the last time we beat them, can they still turn the tables this time!" said Miyoko Kyokawa.
"The last time we were able to win, it was mainly because of their miscommand, this time they changed coaches, and I studied the videos of the last few games of the Chinese team with Takao, and found that they were like a different team!
"That's right, and according to my research, the most important thing we should pay attention to should be this person, this 30!" Takao Nakaki opened the tablet at this time, and there was a photo of He Yitong dribbling the ball.
"Are you talking about this understudy?" said Miyoko Kyokawa, pointing to the tablet.
"She's not as simple as a substitute, don't look at her height and Maki, but our strength must not be underestimated, especially this person's three-point shot, accurate is very bad, the last game against the Korean team, the Korean team originally bit them at the beginning, it was this 30 came up, a few three-pointers, directly opened the score, really powerful!" Takao Nakaki said.
"That's because their South Korean defenders can't do it, the defense is too poor, besides, the Chinese team itself is good at positional warfare, but the South Korean team has been caught in positional attacks with the Chinese team many times, what else can you do if you don't lose?" Oda Maki said disdainfully at this time.
"It's good to be cautious, we can't get carried away with a victory, you don't forget, it was this No. 30 who almost brought up the morale of the Chinese team in the first game, if it wasn't for their coach's command error, I really don't know who would have won the first game?" said Koichi Inoue.
"Is it that serious?" said Du Jialeimeng.
"It's good to be cautious!" said Koichi Inoue solemnly.
At this time, the stands have become extremely crowded, and many people are seated by three people and two people.
"Hello audience friends, this is ** Sports Channel, I am your old friend, Hasegawa Nishikyo! Today's live broadcast for you is a heavyweight game, one side is our Japanese super team, the Japanese high school girls' team! The other side is also a very strong team, the Chinese team! Although we won the first game of this league, we know that the Chinese team is still a strong team, and when playing against them, if you are a little careless, it is likely to be in trouble. So I hope that our Japanese team will be careful and give us another game like the first one, and today we will still have our old friend Mr. Minamino and another foreign idol star, Ms. Mei Nakai!
"Hello, Hasegawa!Hello everyone!" said Shusaku Minamino and Mei Nakai beside him smiled at the same time and greeted the camera.
"Mr. Minamino is an old acquaintance of ours, everyone knows it. Today I would like to give a special welcome to our Ms. Mei Nakai, hello Ms. Mei!" said Nishikyo Hasegawa.
"Hello, Mr. Hasegawa!" Mei Nakai said to Hasegawa Saikyo with a smile at this time.
"I heard that Miss Mei's new film "Kidnapping Machine X" has come to an end, and I don't know if it can be seen on TV this year. Nishikyo Hasegawa asked expectantly.
"Well, if the plan doesn't change, it will be the end of this year!" said Mei Nakai with a smile.
"Oops, this is big news! Miss Mei Nakai has revealed to us the release time of the TV series that many Chinese people are looking forward to, this is exclusive!" said Hasegawa Nishikyo excitedly.
"Yes, I hope you will support you a lot!" said Mei Nakai with a smile at the camera.
"Okay, now let's get back to today's fight, what do you think about today's fight, Mr. Minamino?" said Hasegawa.
"Well, today's game can be said to be a revenge battle for the Chinese team, or it can be said to be a revenge battle for us. Some fans may ask, why is it also our revenge battle in Japan? Because yesterday, our men's basketball team lost to them by a big score, although there is a difference in strength between our two sides, but from the perspective of our bushido spirit, we still don't want to lose to them. So yesterday our men's basketball team lost, today our women's basketball team can't lose again, and the women's basketball team must avenge the men's basketball team. Minamino said at this time.
"And what is the advantage of the women's basketball team over the men's basketball team, Mr. Minamino?" asked Hasegawa Nishikyo.
'First of all we played at home, then we were a little bit better than them, and thirdly, we beat them, so we have an advantage mentally. If my guess is correct, everyone in the audience and the audience in front of the TV should be ready to celebrate the winning party!" said Shusaku Minamino.
"If you say so, we really should be ready!" said Mei Nakai with a smile.
Hasegawa Saikyo also nodded.
"That's right, you all think so, but what I'm going to do now is to pour cold water on everyone, that is, this game, the Chinese team will lose if you don't see it!" said Minamino Shusaku seriously.
"Why?" asked Hasegawa Saikyo in surprise.
"yes, didn't you just say that we have an advantage?" said Mei Nakai.
"I'm talking about what everyone thinks is an advantage in the minds of the people and the media, but in fact, the current Chinese team is very different from the Chinese team we met in the first game!" said Hidesaku Minamino.
"Can you elaborate on that?Mr. Minamino!" said Nishikyo Hasegawa.
"Well, first of all, the leader of the Chinese team is different from before, as far as I know, since that game, the leader of the Chinese team has been replaced by Ji Zhenru, do you know who Ji Zhenru is? It is a player who played the genius Ginterance in the World Championships last year and the United States team known as "once in a century". ”
"I've heard his name before, and it's said that he's very powerful, and his skills and IQ have reached a level that ordinary people can't reach!" said Hasegawa Nishikyo.
"That's right, in addition to this powerful character, there is also their No. 30 player, she is growing at an amazing rate, I did a special study, that is, to investigate the shooting speed of everyone in this tournament, I found that in the women's game, the Chinese team's No. 30 player's shooting speed is the fastest, almost 0.5 seconds, and in terms of accuracy, she is also ranked in the top five players in the entire league, so I am very worried now, I hope that the Japanese team will not underestimate the enemy. Minamino said.
"Well, what Mr. Minamino said is indeed a very serious problem, and at the same time, I hope that our women's basketball team will not underestimate the opponent, the opponent is really powerful!" Hasegawa Nishikyo also said seriously.
"Don't underestimate the enemy!!" Mei Nakai said to the camera.
"Alright, the players from both sides are going to play soon, let's cut the camera to the court!" said Hasegawa Saikyo to the camera.
